I don't really feel like the organization has done anything gut-wrenchingly evil to be honest. It's not like they enjoy torturing the populace or anything like that. They just seem to be interested in nothing but their goal to the point of ignoring humanity. Even our main charachters appear to think it's OK to gather children, put them through horrible pain and a high probability of death and turn them into half-monsters in order to save the population of the island from youma. Surely, if the mainland population is suffering from a similar threat, it would be OK to to sacrifice a small percentage of it for an experiment that could result in a weapon that could save them?

Of course, the mainland struggle has been told to be just a war so it's very likely to be just a power struggle between different factions while people themselves are ignored as always. But just saying that it's not at all impossible to justify the organization.

If the goal was to save humanity from certain extermination or eternal misery, I don't think it's evil to do anything that would improve our chances.
